Dezi....
... our sweet little daschund. Yes she sure looks that way doesn't she? But what you don't know is that she has a dark side. She is always friendly with people and loves to make new friends. Our little sweetie is a cold blooded killer! When out with Ben running hay water she goes up and down the rows killing every gopher scared up out of their hole, while Peachy is content to just play with them. Friday night Dezi committed the ultimate crime.....she broke into our chicken coup and ate two chickens! She's crazy I tell you. She managed to pull back a lose fence slat and murder two medium sized chickens, not full grown, but not babies. I received the bad news while sleeping. Ben walks in and says in a very grave voice "Kell, Dezi ate two chickens last night." Then I hear him walk out and start securing the fence slats. Is it bad that I laughed? I mean, a little dezi, prying back a fence slat and nabbing two chickens. Maybe part of the humor was how mad Ben was, and maybe because Dezi's my favorite dog so I'm more prone to forgive her. Anyway, the fence is secured, we got some re chicks. (Yes 4 not 2 but 4, don't ask how it happened, ok we might be suckers). Hopefully these babies will get to grow up big and finally lay us some eggs!

I had to read this out loud to Danny because he wanted to know what I was laughing about. We went through the same thing when we lived on the farm - only our dog was killing Danny's brother's chickens. Not good. After several attacks, to save family relations we finally took the advice of Danny's Dad -- so I'll share it with you. That little Desi has the taste of chickens in her blood now and there's only one way to stop it. You gotta take one of those dead chickens and tie it around her neck. Make her walk around with that stinkin' chicken until it decays and finally falls off. It's gonna take about a week or two. You won't be wanting to invite her into the house during this time. It stinks and it's kinda nasty -- but if you want those chickens to live long enough to fill your egg basket, well, it just might be your only hope. I have a feeling, though, that we'll probably be reading the sequel to this serial chicken killer story before that happens. I still think Desi is cute!
